Hi, i woud like to have tablet ui,which dpi should a put? Never worked with me ><

Envoyé depuis mon Blade
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
Yes. Just flash the zip in the first post
[Blade Android Development] Gokh:
Doesnt work, all is just small :(, is there other thing to do after change dpi and reboot?
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
Yes mate

Lowering the dpi just makes everything small.

When I had a tablet UI, I locked it in landscape mode, lowered the dpi and enabled tablet softbuttons(cm7)
[Blade Android Development] Gokh:
I havetried it with 160 and 180 but dont work, and you say cm7 ??
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
What happens when u put it at 180?

I said cm7 only if u want status bar softbuttons
[Blade Android Development] Gokh:
Ony become smaller
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
That's what is supposed to happen

What else do u want?
[Blade Android Development] Gokh:
I want the tablet ui, like a transformer prime! But i found a tuto where it say to say something in systemui apk or framework-res, only lower dpi dont change it

[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
U can't get the tablet ui unless we get a ParanoidAndroid rom. The best u can do is put landscape mode and make everything small

Got a BIG battery drain over night (75% in 6 hours, 10% in 30 mins this morning). What app should I use in order to know what app is causing the battery drain? Any logger / battery monitor?
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
JuiceDefender or the in built battery monitor
[Blade Android Development] Gokh:
You can have tablet ui, and paranoidandroid its not really tabley ui, its an hybrid with phone and tablet ui.

I think i found the problem. My OS is sending a lot of data to "someone" as you can see from here:

i don't care about the data (i'm on an unlimited plan), but since the battery drains too fast is there any app i can use to know what process is sending data and to who?
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
3g watchdog pro allows u to monitor which apps send data
[Blade Android Development] naifdamudi:
I really want to try ICS but I'm not sure which one to pick. Most important aspect is battery life and hardware acceleration also easier to revert back to cm7 if I'm not happy with ics mod.

I'm considering CF, any negative aspect of running cf ics mod?

Appreciate all the efforts and work everyone here in xda does. I hope manufacturer also put some effort into rom Dev.

[Blade Android Development] karthiknr:
The best battery life I've seen is with the CFX ROM.
[Blade Android Development] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
Aside from my problem (which i've fixed with a system format, followed by a reflash of the same build (keeping the /data intact)), that was a wallpaper-related issue (failure with backup on google servers), i suggest you to use KonstaKANG. It's just a slimmed down version of CFX with some improvements (customizable reboot menu, a link to show your current partition layout etc..), just because with CFX you have to repartition your phone (mostly, if you're now on CM7, you have a 160mb system partition, which is not enough for CFX (200mb needed), but is enough for KonstaKANG (only 138mb needed)).

3D HW Acceleration is enebled in every rom as for now (but no rom has OpenMAX, so no video decoding acceleration is enabled, and no Youtube HQ). Going back on CM7 will be easyier if you do a nandroid backup before flashing ICS.
[Blade Android Development] De@n:
KonstaKang is better than CFX.

Just remember to increase your /system partition to at least 200mb with a TPT when you try ColdfusionX, otherwise it won't work.
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
If he has a European Blade he won't need to do that

@naif : first download freespace and check ur system partition size
[Blade Android Development] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
Only if he kept default partition layout when he upgraded it to GEN2 to run CM7. Otherwise (wbaw's custom layout / Still GEN1 and he was using patched CM7 with backward compatibility ) he needs to repartition.

To repartition he needs to know:

- Current GEN

- If GEN2, if it was:

- Sold with GEN2

- TPT Upgraded from GEN1 to GEN2

- Win upgraded from GEN1 to GEN2​

After that, he can use TPT Helper to icrease his /system partition

But yeah, the first things he needs to know is his current /system size, then the blade's GEN (iirc ICS is not backward compatible with GEN1 and CFX/KonstaKANG cannot been patched as CM7)
[Blade Android Development] PMCBA:
I have flashed an ICS Rom in my Blade and this rom had ClockworkMod 5 and the backup that I have made was in clockworkMod 3.0.2.4 and i can't reinstall my previous rom Gingerbread.

It's possible to return to Gingerbread. How can I downgrade Clockworkmod in order to restore my previous backup?

Thanks for your help.
[Blade Android Development] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
Install an old version of CWM from Rom Manager (last option).

If you need to repartition too, simply choose CWM 3.0 from TPT Helper when you're making your TPT
[Blade Android Development] naifdamudi:
Using titanium backup, it say rom size is 230MB and 170MB internal.

I didn't do any partitioning when I install cm7, just using cwm for installation.

Also, my phone is second Gen dell xcd35 with 512MB default ram.

Anyway I'm on my cell and I didn't check installation procedure correctly, do you guys think I need to repartition for any of the two ics rom I mention?

Also I'm not really familier with android or Linux file system that much, but i like to know actual hardware rom/flash size of the phone and when you guys mention repartition, what memory we actually repartition? I assume it SD card if so, what happen if I try to use phone without that memory card?

Send from Blade running android CM7.x mod
[Blade Android Development] PMCBA:
Thanks CTRL+ALT+DEL

I have Installed an old version of CWM from Rom Manager (last option), but how can I recover my last backup? Is with rom manager?

When I choose to restore previous backup the phone restarts and the only thing that I can see is the blue Cyanogen logo and nothing else.

I am a newbie thanks for yur help.
[Blade Android Development] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
You don't need to repartition (unless you want a bigger /data partition), 230 mb is enough for CFX and KonstaKANG. Copy rom+gapps on your SD Card, reboot to recovery, do a full wipe + /system format (the /system format is very important, or at least this is what tilal said) and flash your rom.

Reboot to CWM, Backup & Restore -> Restore -> Choose the backup to restore.

The backup is stored on your SD Card, so if you've format it during ICS upgrade, you cannot go back to Gingerbread (unless you reflash the whole rom, losing apps/settings/stored data etc)
[Blade Android Development] lohtse:
I have kangs 2.3.7 rom flashed at the moment but would like to move to ics4 whats the best option with least hassle?
[Blade Android Development] matt4321:
I personally would go for konstaKANG, clean, simple and smooth. I tried it for a week but this being my main phone needed a solid rom so had to go back to gingerbread. But I'd highly recommend it, I think it's slightly better than CFX, some may say otherwise, CFX is still a decent rom too
[Blade Android Development] PMCBA:
Thanks ALT-CTRL-DEL but the problem is that after I have Installed the old version of CWM from Rom Manager (last option) I could not Reboot to CWM the only thing that i see is the blue Cyanogen logo. So I can´t access to CWM in order to restore the backup that I have in my SD card.

Thanks
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
Have u tried powering on while pressing volume down?

Reboot to cwm option in rom manager isn't the only way tto reboot to cwm
[Blade Android Development] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
QuantumFoam is right.

Still, if you can't access to recovery even from boot with vol-, try to reflash the recovery from Rom Manager. A bad flash can happen :good:

Anybody got wifi tethering running? I've tried WiFi Tether for Root Users and basically got an ad-hoc going (but nothing comes up in master mode). However, ad-hoc doesn't do DHCP and static ip won't work any better.

Running on ColdfusionX. Any ideas?
[Blade Android Development] PMCBA:
Ok I have solved it I have reflashed the recovery and the particion and voila the CWM 3 to restore my previous backup.

Thanks a lot.

[Blade Android Development] karthiknr:
Someone on Modaco was saying that the changes from ICS to JB aren't that many when compared from GB to ICS. But Hardware Acceleration seems to be a core component of JB. So the OpenMax codecs will play a very important role for future ICS and JB updates. Hopefully it'll be released by the year end.;)

[Blade Android Development] BU2T3R:
Hi! I own a SF Gen1 and I have CWM and the Ginger SF r4 ROM. I'd like to try ICS, but for that I thought there I needed Gen 2 so I downloaded the TPT helper, but right after that I read something lost in this thread refering to the Kang build that it would run in Gen1 phones. Is that true? If so, I just need to download the ROM and flash it?

Thanks for your help, and continue with the good work!

[Blade Android Development] karthiknr:
The KANG build we are talking about is this.

www.modaco.com/topic/355059-romgen2276-cyanogenmod-9-konstakang-android-404/

Secondly, it is a GEN2 only ROM. It won't work on GEN1 devices. You will have to TPT to GEN2 and then,flash it.
[Blade Android Development] BU2T3R:
So, I do need to upgrade my Gen1 to Gen2! And this KANG ROM is the best out there? Should I flash this, or other one that are in this thread?

Thanks for you help,

[Blade Android Development] Sacob:
i'm trying to change the partitions in order to flash ICS but when i flash the tpt via recovery i can't see any green text in the 4 step and the phone gets stuck with the android logo

can anyone help?
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
Stop spamming
[Blade Android Development] Sacob:
i will stop as soon as somebody helps me!
[Blade Android Development] De@n:
You don't flash a tpt with cwm.
[Blade Android Development] Sacob:
i've read somewhere that i needed the stock recovery. i've flashed it and tried to flash the tpt but nothing happened
[Blade Android Development] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
TPT is different from recovery. You don't have to go to recovery in order to TPT your phone (it's not a flashable zip).

Turn off your phone, remove battery, wait for 2 mins. Insert battery, keep pressed VOL+ and Menu keys, then press the power button. If you TPT was correctly placed on your SD Card, the process should begin instantly.

Anyway, spamming is not the right way to obtain help here. Post your question, wait for some hours/days and, if no one answer you, ask them again. Spamming the same question over lots of topic is against the rules.
[Blade Android Development] Sacob:
since I've tried to do this and asked more than one month ago i think it this the right time to ask again :P

anyway, can you link me the correct tpt file in order to install ICS rom?
[Blade Android Development] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
You can try the TPT made by Konstat to use KonstaKANG (138/2/316):

- GEN1: http://www.mediafire.com/?xo48gggql67b5kd

- GEN2: http://www.mediafire.com/?6c8b5dz4l0fn2gu

but with that TPT you can only use KonstaKANG, since CFX / MIUI / AOKP needs 200mb system partition. Since neither Burstlam nor tilal ever provided a TPT for their rom, you have to make your own with TPT Helper if you wanna use them.

Remember, you have to use GEN2 layout only if your phone was SOLD with GEN2. If you upgraded from GEN1 with wbaw's TPT or any other custom TPT, you still have to use GEN1.
[Blade Android Development] Sacob:
so just put the file in the root of the sdcard and boot the phone with VOL+ and Menu keys?? no special name for the file?
[Blade Android Development] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
Since it's a TPT and not a ROM, you have to extract it before turning off your phone. The image folder extracted from the zip (or made by TPTHelper) goes to the root of your SD Card.
[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
Ok. I'm updating my ROM guide and want to add KONSTAKANG. Is it the same as the AOSP ICS in post #2?

You can remove both CM9 Alpha 7 from tomgiordano and ICS4Blade, since they're no longer updated.

As of now, KonstaKANG, AOKP are still updated, while MIUI and CFX are on hiatus, since tilal left the development some days ago:

[Blade Android Development] saaransh9:
1.first root it using z4root modified(google it modaco post)

2.download rom manager from the market.

3.install recovery for blade using rom manager.

4.download the zip alpha 5 fix 2 in the first post and place it on the root of your sd card.

5.backup your current rom using rom manager.

6.in rom manager select install rom from sd and check clear delvik cache, clear data/ factory settings .

4.click ok u will boot into recovery and the rom will install.

8.that's it wait for the rom to boot and don not pull out the battery.

note: before doing everything make sure your phone is well charged atleast 80%

i m not responsible for anything bad happening to your device.

after all this download the gapps and animation fix and reboot into recovery and then use volume controls to select intall from zip from sd select them one by one and install(use home button to click the desired option).and then reboot.
